Harvard Mark I, 2022

with Professor Harry R. Lewis "The Harvard Mark I, or IBM Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator (ASCC), was a general-purpose electromechanical computer used in the war effort during the last part of World War II. One of the first programs to run on the Mark I was initiated on 29 March 1944 by John von Neumann. At that time, von Neumann was working on the Manhattan Project, and needed to determine whether implosion was a viable choice to detonate the atomic bomb that would be used a year later. The Mark I also computed and printed mathematical tables, which had been the initial goal of British inventor Charles Babbage for his 'analytical engine' in 1837. The Mark I was disassembled in 1959, but portions of it were displayed in the Science Center as part of the Harvard Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments until being moved to the new Science and Engineering Complex in Allston, Massachusetts in July 2021. Other sections of the original machine had much earlier been transferred to IBM and the Smithsonian Institution." - Wikipedia *** This is CS50, Harvard University's introduction to the intellectual enterprises of computer science and the art of programming. *** HOW TO SUBSCRIBE http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=cs50tv HOW TO TAKE CS50 edX: https://cs50.edx.org/ Harvard Extension School: https://cs50.harvard.edu/extension Harvard Summer School: https://cs50.harvard.edu/summer OpenCourseWare: https://cs50.harvard.edu/x HOW TO JOIN CS50 COMMUNITIES Discord: https://discord.gg/cs50 Ed: https://cs50.harvard.edu/x/ed Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/cs50/ Faceboook Page: https://www.facebook.com/cs50/ GitHub: https://github.com/cs50 Gitter: https://gitter.im/cs50/x Instagram: https://instagram.com/cs50 LinkedIn Group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7437240/ LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/school/cs50/ Medium: https://cs50.medium.com/ Quora: https://www.quora.com/topic/CS50 Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/cs
